Dooryard Quotes

A morning rain has settled the dust in Weicheng; Willows are green again in the tavern dooryard... Wait till we empty one more cup – West of Yang Gate there'll be no old friends. (Wang Wei)
In the dooryard fronting an old farmhouse near the whitewash'd palings, Stands the lilacbush tallgrowing with heartshaped leaves of rich green, with many a pointed blossom rising delicate, with the perfume strong I love, With every leaf a miracle and from this bush in the dooryard, With delicatecolor'd blossoms and heartshaped leaves of rich green, A sprig with its flower I break.
